Just a tip I see often that I didn't see here? After applying builder gel, flip the nail over for about 10 seconds before curing. It will help create a natural Apex. Additionally- You can also use a thin brush (or brush edge corner) to gently draw a line down the center vertically to draw the gel in towards the height of where you want your Apex to be (just before or during your "flipover").
Thank you so much for the tip that really helps out because I’ve been looking to put fake nails on and then builder gel on top because it lost much more longer so that’s exactly what I’ll be doing here
@@farahjames4477 Me too!💅
That s not a properly manicure..and is no a builder gel..😂
You can t use tips if you have builder gel
what i do is apply builder gel in only the middle top of the nail then cure. Then i apply to the rest of the nail. you can try to quickly stack it that way as well, then cure it quickly
This is literally what I searched on TH-cam and you are a lifesaver because it was such a short video but so much information in it I love the way that you did it I love how easy it looked you are a great TH-camr thank you so much
Yes yes this is by far the easiest nail applying I’ve ever seen , so natural. I must try. Thanks
an absolute fav! I've been doing this since you first showed the Madam Glam Builder Gels!! LOVE!
These nails are pure heaven so natural and not impossible. Thankyou so much for this video. I love this colour
That builder gel color!!! 😍 I’m obsessed!
This was so easy to follow with beautiful results!! Thank you 🙏🏾 ❤️👍🏾
This is THE colour I’ve always wanted thank you 😘
I love that color. It looks so natural
These nails are beautifully done! I’ve not tried MG builder gel yet but I think you have convinced me to at least go take a look.
New watcher, I’m excited about watching more of your videos, past and future.
Thanks for a great tutorial. 💖💖
I’ve watched this video so many times because it’s so satisfying and fun to watch. Never done my nails before, but I’m going to try these someday. :-)
Great tutorial! Well explained, I’ll definetly be trying builder gel x
These look so beautiful and Natural I need to try this method 😍
I’m lazy this week with my Nails and don’t feel like doing the whole polygel thing so this is exactly what I was looking for
This was very helpful! Thank you! I’m learning how to do this exact process; I think it’s the easiest of everything I’ve tried thus far.
Finally a tutorial on removing them!!! 💕
I will definitely be using this. I need to add extension and builder gel in a bottle I would prefer. Thanks for sharing
Yay 😀 I was hoping you would do a video like this on your take of this method.
Thank you. 🤍
Beautifully explained, and a beautiful result. Thankyou, will definately try this method. 🙂💜🇬🇧
I absolutely love Madam Glam's Builder Gel Light Beige! I bought 2 bottles just because I fell in love. Been waiting on a nice DIY video & finally after 2 or 3 months or waiting you have surprised me with a great one(: you make it look so dang easy, i know ill have a few errors again but its well worth it. You made a flawless set of nails! And should be very proud of yourself Kate!! Great job. Perfection at its finest
Thank you very much(:
You do such a good job! I enjoy your videos 👍🏽
This was sooo helpful, thank you!!
I want to try this with a layer of clear dip underneath for a more even coat. Thanks for the video!
I've been using polygel and a colored gel polish over it and the removal process wasn't easy I've been looking into builder gel and I am super interested.
I just discovered builder gel and I love it. I was using poly but it would get crusty at my cuticles and be really patchy in color. I’ve been able to build tips with soft forms no problem (I’m not experienced mind you) best of all no crusty cuticles!!! Love builder gel
I love this video and I’m so glad I saw it because this is exactly what I want ty new subber
beautiful as always :)
I switched to BIAB on natural nails from acrylic extensions and my nails have grown so long and strong. A few years ago I wouldn’t have dreamt of not having acrylics, 3 months in to my BIAB journey my natural nails looks like acrylic extensions. I highly recommend the switch, it will save your nail’s health and make you fall in love with your natural nails.
Which brand do you use? I've been looking at a few different ones and can't decide which to go with 😅
@@homicidaloakley Yes, I'd like to know this too please, @Zen!
Love it 😍
Girl thank you i wondered if the extension tip would hold with only rubber base ❤❤❤ty
Thank you for this!
I only use Madam Glam builder gels in the salon. One suggestion, it is recommended that you apply the MG base coat to the nail before you apply the builder gel. Gives more protection to the natural nail.
Also there are manicure bowls that you can get that snap into a base. For your removal, you can put hot water in the base snap the top in and put your acetone in. Hot water makes the acetone work faster
Dios te bendiga, este video es una bendición para mi.Es precisamente lo que yo estaba buscando.😊❤
This video is extremely helpful thank you for sharing!
Gorgeous ❤
Beautiful nails 😍
So cute! 😊 to make a natural apex, turn your finger upside down so that the gel will make a natural apex. 😊
great tip!!
Beautiful your nails are perfect length.
Cute 💚
❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️
Have you tried the gel remover nail polish?
They look amazzzz! Do you ever use nail glue, if so which one do you recommend? Never thought about using Double dip!
hi! i hardly ever use nail glue as any dip base liquid is basically a glue itself! the one that i used to use is from sally beauty, i can’t remember the name.
This is awesome! Question: I've tried this but I end up with a ledge where the tip meets the natural nail. Is it the way I'm placing the tip do you think? (My tips have a "well" does yours?) Also, have you tried to dip over builder gel? When I do it seems to get too thick. Any suggestions?
hi! this is a normal thing. usually i will file down where the tip meets the natural nail to make it a more smooth transition. then after applying all of the product i will usually file quite a bit to make it unnoticeable! 🥰
@@katesnails okay that is what I'm doing! Thank you so much for your help
Great technique with using the tips and builder gel on top. I had not thought of doing that but seems like its a great way easily to add length. How long did this set last using the builder gel?
hi! i currently still have the nails on as i recently did them, so i’m not totally sure how long they will last. based on how they’re wearing so far, i’d say a good 2-3 weeks!
@@katesnails Nice. I have some old tips just laying around. Happy to give them a new use. Thanks for sharing! 😊
How sturdy are your nails with the builder gel? I’m interested. I normally do acrylic over the builder gel to protect my nails but I’m pretty hard on my nails and need something that will last
i find they are very durable and strong!
New subscriber now great video
where is your cuticle pusher from? I love the edge on it!
i’m pretty sure it’s by the brand rosalind! i honestly can’t remember because i have had it for so long.
Hi , i loved this video, it was perfect, do u suggest using a UV/LED lamp or just a UV lamp and which name brand do you recommend with how much watts?
hi! you’ll definitely want a lamp to be able to cure the builder gel. i recommend the makartt 48w lamp available on amazon
@@katesnails thank you for responding
Very pretty! Is there any difference between builder gel and polygel? Thank you.
builder gel is much thinner and comes in a bottle with a brush whereas polygel has a much thicker consistency and comes in a tube!
@@katesnails thank you very much!
Hey👋I'm trying to grow out my natural nails but they just keep breaking.
Do you suggest builder gel or hard gel? Great video by the way straight to the point
i would recommend builder gel!
@@katesnails oh ok thank you for responding🙂
Great tutorial! How could you apply dip over this, do you know the process?
hi! you could either apply the dip right after shaping the builder gel, or you could apply a gel top and then peel base followed by dip to be easily able to change out the manicure :)
hey, I noticed you didn't use a base coat from madam glam... do you think that affects how long they last or does it not matter if you have a tip? x
hi! i think adding a base could possibly prolong the life of your mani, although i did get quite long wear without it :)
do you have a certain e nail drill i think it’s called that you recommend for beginners but still is able to remove gel and dip?
hi! yes, i love the makartt drill. i actually have a review of it on my channel i recommend you check out!
Any other adhesive you suggest for the tips? I read somewhere that nail glue doesn’t do well in water and I’m scared of getting water under the tip.
i don't really have any other suggestions. if you're worried about the nail glue, i might suggest a product like polygel or full coverage gel tips that are adhered using a gel product :)
I am new to nails. I was wondering of i could use nail tips with builder and came across this. As i hate the smell of the strong stuff!!!! Does this last the same as acrylic nails? Is this considered a "hybrid"?
yes!
I want to try this in myself. I saw a clear gel builder on Amazon. I want to use tips and use builder gel until of acrylic powder. Can u use gel polish on this ? Like acrylic nails ? I like different colors and want to do my own designs. I want more color options. To be change to my nails . Trying to find cheaper way instead of nail salon
hello! yes, you can apply gel polish on top of the builder gel just like you can on acrylics.
Nice
How long do these last? They lok great!
about 2-3 weeks!
SO when u were removing them and after the acetone process what did u use to take the extra nail off?
mainly just a hand file!! i like to soak majority of the product off and then file off any small bits still on the nail
OK TYSM!
@@katesnails
I have seen people use base gel instead of nail glue for the tips. Do u think I will be able to remove them afterwards and how? Asking cause nail glue never works for me somehow
i’ve never done that, so i’m honestly not sure of the process. i think trial and error would be the best way to figure that out 😅
@@katesnails ty so much for replying!
hi may i ask why you didnt use a gel base coat BEFORE you apllied the gel top coat
hi! there isn't a need to apply gel base before applying gel top over a builder gel. you can if you want, but it isn't necessary.
@@katesnails Hi Kate 👋 so if I buff the builder gel surface the gel top coat will still be able to adhere to thr nail without the Gel base coat? I know you said it's up to me to want to apply a gel base coat I just want to make sure about the application because I have never used builder gel before and have a imprint in mind to always use Gel base coat so that there's no chipping to the nail surface. Appreciate your reply. 💯💅💗
@@tuffmutt2483 hi again! yes that technique would work. ☺️
@@katesnails thank you! love your help and videos!
Wait did you say senior pictures? Girl how old are you? These are absolutely beautiful by the way LOL thank you so much for all your videos, I watch every last one!
i’m just going into senior year of high school! and thanks so much! 🥰
@@katesnails I never would’ve guessed love! Well you definitely got started at the right age I love your videos! Don’t ever let it interfere with your school though that’s way more important and I’m sure you already know that!
@@HaleiwaGirl808 awh you’re the sweetest! i really appreciate it :)
do you prefer builder gel or polygel for natural nails?
i prefer builder gel with tips, but i think polygel is slightly easier for a beginner to work with!
Hi do u have any idea what causes mine to have white spot after applying top coat im seeing alot of white spot in my nails
hmmm i honestly am not sure! maybe they’re bubbles?
@@katesnails thanks for replying its my color in dip is brown and they have white spots in them im not sure if its dust i didnt clean of good or from not making powder dried good before dusting but thanks for reply
I have been dying to try builder gel but hate the removal, it takes longer than dip, maybe I can just keep them soaking longer.🤔
hmmm. you might need to file into the product more for easier removal. it is definitely a process however!
Hi! You do a beautiful job! Quick question- I thought you needed a base gel prior to applying builder gel? Am I including an extra, unnecessary step? Thanks!
hi! a base gel is a good idea with a builder gel. in this video and lately, i have simply skipped this step and haven’t really noticed a difference in wear time or application! that’s just what works for me :)
@@katesnails thank you!!
Isn’t need base coat before builder gel?
hi! i wouldn't say it's absolutely necessary, but can be beneficial. my nails lasted perfectly fine without it.
I’ve been biting the skin around my nails 🤮 now I have some type of an infection because my nail is very weak and just peeling away on 2 of my fingers. Any tips of what I can use to help my nails grow back?
awe i’m sorry to hear that! i honestly recommend just keeping them clean and protected whether that be with product or a bandaid. cuticle oil can definitely help with regrowth!
Hi wouldn't the glue for the nail tips end up wrecking your own nails?
not if applied and removed correctly!
@@katesnails Thanks
Would love to see a tutorial on this with natural nails!!
Also had another q can you paint regular polish (not gel) over top of builder? Will it stay?
@@sydneysmith2458 yes it will!
The Beauty Vault has a tutorial on it.👍
For different colours, could I apply gel polish on top of the builder gel? Would this require a base coat or just directly on top of the builder gel?
yes you can! if you file the builder gel before, you can typically go right in with the gel polish color. however, adding a base coat won’t hurt.
@@katesnails okay! Thanks so much for replying! I did find your other gel polish with tips video which is super helpful too so thank you! I’m so glad I came across your channel!
Do anyone know why my builer gel is peeling off from base, like base remain on the nail, only gel is peeling off…
I recommend making sure the surface of the builder gel has some texture to it (slight scratches from a file) to make sure that the gel has something to grip to when applied on top!
Can you paint with normal polish over this?
yes!
How long do these last? Thank you ❤️❤️
i would say a solid 3 weeks if applied correctly!
Okay thank you so much! ❤️❤️
Hi. Builder gel and rubber gel are the same?
i would say yes, they have about the same consistency!
Thank you🌸
No a rubber base gel is a bit thinner than a builder gel, Although it’s thicker than a regular gel basecoat. And the builder gel can be soak off or can be hard gel(file off) so it’s usually stronger one cured. A rubber base gel It’s always soak off and it doesn’t provide the same strength as a builder gel.
Hi what do you use to adhere the tip to the nail please?
nail glue!
@@katesnails just the standard stuff? Doesn't it fall off after about a week?
@@Field-Meerkat nope!
My builder gel always peels off even after using sticky bond. Maybe it doesn't harden properly under the lamp. Please help
hmmm. it could be incorrect application of the product, or it could be regarding the prep. i’m not really sure what the case is!
Did you file & buff your natural nail before adding a base gel or your Builder gel? That is most likely why it peels sometimes...i could be wrong. Also did you use prep & primer? How thick are you applying your builder gel? I had the same problem the 1st time I applied this builder gel but I did all these things the next time & it didnt peel on me. I just have to get the apex part down a little better. Hope this helps:/ have fun 💅🏻
@@randimaxam3144 thank you so much, I'll try this method I don't spend much time on my prep and I might be applying layers too thick because when it peeled of it was sticky and still abit wet with some gel.
@@NadineBasenga Ah, I see. Prepping your natural nails & cleaning up your cuticles is a very important step & most of your time spent doing your nails will be the prep work. You have to ruff up your natural nail in order for the base gel or any gels to stick & not peel early. Also very thin layers of all gel products is a must for it to fully cure. Be sure to wipe your sticky layer off with some alcohol when your ready for filing the 2nd time. When I 1st started gel I did not know anything about the sticky layer some gels leave, so therefore I was like why isn't my nails curing in my lamp? So ID leave it in longer than recommend time. Lol, still didn't fix my problem until I googled it. I felt kinda silly. But again, hope this will help. Im still learning myself(: it's fun & I learn something new daily with youtube on my speed dial! (: have a blessed day
@@randimaxam3144 thank you so much, you literally described what I'm going through. I always thought it's my lamp and I don't cure my nails long enough. And even when it peels off, you can see the difference in layers. So I will definitely try this 😊❤️
Is it possible to do a fill on these
yes!
Sorry so many questions…but I bought the nails…and have builder gel and the other items but are the nails flimsy or do they bend after applying the builder gel
And is primer necessary…I hate primer..lol
so who is a DIYer that yas used it? i dont wanna do long nails i just wqnt them oast my fingertip. can the form go under my nail? beetle website doesnt so a great job explaining difference in these products
How long do they last?
2-3 weeks!
this is nice, but why not use an e-file to shape these?
just a personal preference!
Good and informative video, but my choice was always #kkuwan
Apex? ?? Nail architecture ?

builder gel with no tips
I really wish you would’ve shown the total process of applying your nail tip with the gel! I’m just starting out using tips with gel and I’m trying to see how it is done the easiest way. Oh well, maybe next time you won’t leave anything out when you show your tutorials! Thanks anyway for sharing…
i do show that process in a few of my other videos. i recommend checking those out!
Chemicals, chemicals…. 🥴Destroying natural nails👍
Is this as strong as the thick forming gel?
i’m not exactly sure what you mean by forming gel, but this builder is very strong and durable!
💕
How long does it last??
i would say around 2-3 weeks!
Thanks dear
So the nail glue is also a necessity .....right?
@@amithadoria8983 yes, to adhere the tip.
